Herbed Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

This is my last casserole until after Christmas.  Then I will have to see what I can do with all the leftovers I am sure we will have! Last night’s dinner started out with as Cheesy Chicken Ranch Casserole from the Finding Joy in the Kitchen.com.  Of course I didn’t have half of the ingredients…

Bacon Grilled Cheese Hamburgers

We are still eating comfort foods this week.  With Christmas right around the corner we are going for easy meals that are filling and feel like a warm hug.  Tonight we had Bacon Grilled Cheese Hamburgers, tomato soup and peas.  This meal took me back to my college days. Verdict: We all loved this meal.  …

Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin

I pinned this recipe for Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin from Bo’s Bowl.com a few weeks ago.  I was waiting for the night that someone pulled pork loin from the freezer for dinner.   Last night was the night. Verdict: The pork loin was okay but a bit ordinary.  The gravy is the reason to…

Swedish Meatball Casserole

I think this year it is a Casserole Christmas.  It seems what is getting me through this Christmas season are casseroles and my slow cooker.  I love that I can just throw things into a pan and it comes out with a delicious dinner. I was searching Pinterest for ground beef recipes when I came…

Scalloped Potatoes with Ground Beef

Things are getting busier day by day here.  Another night, another casserole.  I am trying to not spend any more money before Christmas so we are going to be using everything I can out of the pantry and freezer. I went searching for a dish that used ground beef and potatoes that I could make…

Slow Cooker Bottom Round Steak

So last night’s dinner was not a casserole.  I found a really great deal on Bottom Round Steak at the local grocery store that I just could not pass up.  When I got it home I realized I had no idea how to cook it.  It was about 2 1/2″ thick and had a fairly…

Moussaka Like Casserole

Last night I took ground beef out of the freezer.  I needed a quick casserole to get on the table. I have always wanted to try making Moussaka but never seemed to quite get around to buying the eggplant.  I love Greek flavors and when I saw this recipe for a Moussaka like casserole on…

Creamy Garlic Chicken

I am still making casseroles for dinner.  This one took a bit more effort as I had to boil the chicken first.  I decided to actually boil an extra serving of chicken so that I would have the chicken cooked for the next casserole.  I am trying to plan ahead to keep things as simple…

Skillet Lasagna

Yes, we are still on the one pan, casserole or soup dinners.  Things are starting to get crazy here, well, I guess they are always a bit crazy just more hectic.   I came home last night and sat staring at the refrigerator.  Both kids were asking when dinner was going to be done.  Half an…

Creamy Taco Soup

I have a feeling I am going to be making lots of soups and casseroles until after Christmas.  Time seems to be slipping away from me. I am thankful that I had almost all my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving.  I like to have it all done and wrapped by December 1st so I can…

Hoisin Barbecue Hot Dogs

This is a very strange picture.  I get that.  But, this dinner was one I needed to get ready on the fly.  They look much better in a hot dog bun, but we were out of those. Every once in a while I need to make hot dogs.  Not my first pick for a meal…

Pork en Croute

I wish I had a better picture of the pork en croute than this one but it all kind of fell apart as soon as I started cutting into it and it really wasn’t that beautiful to begin with. I knew I wanted something different for Thanksgiving dinner this year so I began searching Pinterest…
